I am attending the College of Geographic Sciences and as an Amateur Operator (although only 8months with my ticket) I am looking for some data. My career and study area deals with spatial mapping, satellite imagery, computer modelling and so on. This industry area is known as Geomatics. I am intending to construct/design a Communications Database/Mapping system using existing GIS software like SPANS or ARC/INFO. What is missing however, are known sources of informations/data for Ontario repeaters. I have a list of the actual repaters, call, input, and output...but I would like to go deeper than that with data such as wattage, RX range, Transmission radius, location coordinates, packet linkage info, and functions available. Does anyone know of such a source or perhaps a contact that could provide such information??

Now I'm confused. I have been running PA0GRI's version of KA9Q's NOS in a DOS window under Windows(tm) for a month now. It works like a charm. I leave it running while my daughter uses Write, Paintbrush, games, etc... Sometimes I even run PCelm in a second DOS window and use a Windows based freeware emacs rip-off to edit mail and replies. I am only running a 16MHz 386SX with 8Meg and a VGA monitor. I haven't tried Phil's latest one from Mecca under Windows, but, I imagine it would work the same. While the L&G (Latest and Greatest) from KA9Q himself doesn't have some of the features of JNOS, MFNOS, GRINOS, etc, etc, etc, it does have an on screen unACK'd frame counter and a separate session for trace stuff. >Thanks to everyone who answered me. You're quite welcome. For the benefit of others, here is what I sent Erich last week: | I don't know if there is one FOR windows. I doubt it. On ucsd.edu is a | file /hamradio/packet/tcpip/mswin/mswinnos.zip.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I am successfully running a packet station using a Gateway 386/25 and a KPC-3 and a Realistic HTX-202. I have recently tried the same configuration except using a Compudyne 396SXL notebook computer. When using this computer, I get so much interference on the HT that I can not even squelch it out.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I have a PK-88 set up to forward mail to my home bbs. It will not do so unless polled by that bbs, however. I think that is part of a firmware upgrade, so if your friend has an older model that has not been upgraded, it may not have the capability.
